As the inventor of modern skin care, we strive to make everyone feel comfortable in their skin. In order to fulfill this promise, we are driving a culture which is in line with our company purpose: Care Beyond Skin. In the context of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), that means to care for the uniqueness of our employees, leaders and consumers. We choose to express that care in embracing their differences so that everyone can be their true self and benefits from equitable opportunities.
We are committed to developing and retaining a diverse workforce, fostering an inclusive company culture that is welcoming to everyone and creating products that resonate with our global consumer base. With joint forces of our partner organizations, we are making sure that our promise for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is carried and lived beyond our organizational boundaries, and that we are supporting a more equitable society.
With our global DE&I strategy in place, we are bringing our commitment to life by systematically embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in all aspects of our business. That means that we are constantly challenging the status quo, reducing biases and promoting an inclusive corporate culture for all genders, origins, backgrounds and cultures, sexual orientation and gender identities, as well as generations and include people of all abilities. Our Code of Conduct ensures that our values are reflected in our everyday work, wherever Beiersdorf and its subsidiaries do business.
